BRASHEAR, Mo. – Novinger opened play in the Brashear Tournament Monday night with a 76-27 win over Putnam County JV.

Trent Rodman led four ’Cats in double-figures with his 21. Derek Parks had 19, Justin Klingsmith 18, and Blake Smith had 16.

“It was a good effort by our kids on the defensive end and offensively we needed to see the ball go through the rim. We will be faced with a much different type of team on Wednesday, so hopefully the kids will be up for the challenge,” said Novinger head coach Shane Stocks.

Novinger will play North Shelby on Wednesday.
